There are so many incredible children’s books out there to discover! You’ll notice that I added two purchase links in the description of each book….

When it comes to parenting advice, especially for your first child, the comments are endless. While some are helpful, others rude, not much truly stuck with me if I’m being honest.

Suddenly she’s learning so many new things, and so fast! It is seriously a joy and relief to see her becoming a smart, determined-to-learn, little “junior…

Reading has always had a special place in my life and I hope that Julia will also know the comfort of curling up to read a good book one day. Before she was even born, my husband and I began buying her books, and have built up a little library for her. There are a ton of benefits that reading to your baby can provide, such as helping them to recognize the connection between words and sounds, and eventually introducing…
